my save file in case anyone wants to experiment with it.

So far I've experienced a missive launch that went nearly 75% of the way up, and now this just happened about 20 minutes before i posted this.

Edit: Attempting to place another piton down and letting go of the rope to climb is causing me to levitate and float towards my original piton.

Edit 2: I've managed to replicate the launch but it doesn't seem to be useful. It puts me out of bounds and i fall to my death, this one was complete accident as i managed to walk on a 80° surface after repelling in an odd way, attempting to repel or climb down resulted in me getting launched to what i can only assume is coordinate 0,0,0

Edit 3: Funny launch
